successfully blacklist them during the SMTP session. I'd also like to be able to do some basic content checking of messages before accepting them so for smtpfilter I have:

/^Subject: *!.*/:h
if (lookup($MATCH2, 'badsubj.dat'))
{
  echo "That was not a nice thing to say"
  EXITCODE=100
  exit
}

EXITCODE=0
exit

However this doesn't seem to work, $MATCH2 doesn't seem to get set at all. Does pattern matching of headers work differently with localfilters than it does at local delivery time?

No.

                                                  What am I missing here?

A number of things must be carefully set up for rcptfilter and smtpfilter to get invoked.

First, verify that rcptfilter gets invoked in the first place. That should be easy to do -- just have it temporarily reject all mail.

Once you know it gets called, verify that the sample message does take the execution path that terminates with a 99 exit code, then temporarily modify smtpfilter to reject all mail too.

Once you know that both of them get processed, only then you can begin debugging the rest of the script.
